Yesterday O.C. Parker of the Tucson Undertaking Parlors 
received a dispatch to prepare for the reception of an 
interment of the remains of H.B. Smith who died at 
Columbus Ohio yesterday, where he had gone for medical 
treatment.  The deceased was for a long time a resident 
of Nogales and was one of the early pioneers of Tucson, 
having come here in the sixties.  Mr. Smith was the 
father of Marcus D. Smith and brothers who are 
conducting the Cananea Herald and Mrs. W.P. Field.  
He was an old soldier, a member of the G.A.R., also 
of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows.
